Adventure Update components coming to Minecraft XBLA, eventually

4.8
It may not be the next update (that's scheduled to be an Xbox approximation of Beta version 1.7.3, which adds pistons), but at some point the XBLA version of Minecraft will be brought up to parity with PC version 1.8, also known as the Adventure Update.

"There are no big architecture changes with the move to 1.7.3, so it's been quite straightforward. The move to 1.8.2 is much more challenging," 4J Studios co-founder Paddy Burns told OXM. "We are working with Daniel Kaplan at Mojang to define what is going in to the Xbox version, but the aim is to include as many of the PC features that make sense on the Xbox as possible. The game isn't Minecraft on the Xbox, it is Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, so it isn't really a direct port of the PC game."

When the Adventure Update went live last on PCs September, it introduced the Endermen, several new kinds of building materials, a new mode specifically designed for free-form creation (dubbed "Creative mode"), as well as more minor changes to combat mechanics and the introduction of a food system.

GSHonor I didn't know that adding mods and texture packs can be easily done right after they just made the game for xbox. -_- People gotta chill, things take time.

Ya they do. But the problem is microsoft's privacy policy says that no game can have modding or tampering on it. Idk about texture packs, but mods are gone.

They wouldn't be called mods, they would probably be called add-ons. Mods are basically just add-ons to the base game.


Microsoft should change their terms of service then.
